The passions were really sparked off when Gautam Gambhir had enough of the Pakistan wicket keeper Kamran Akmal's incessant banter and appealing. It needed the intervention of the umpires, Billy Bowden and Billy Doctrove, as well as the Indian captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni to cool things down.

The Pakistan captain, Shahid Afridi, chose to view things in a more pragmatic perspective, even adding humour in defeat that there was too much love between friends, Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar, that led to the showdown int he closing stages of the match.

The Pakistan camp may be asking Shoaib Akhtar to prove a few things. However, the Pakistan fast bowler has not lost it completely as was evident in this bouncer against Gambhir.
